Tori's Kitchen - Snickerdoodle Cookies
What you’ll need -
Measuring cups & spoons, mixer, additional bowl, cookie sheet, parchment paper, cooling rack, butter, shortening, sugar, eggs, vanilla, flour, cream of tarter, baking soda, salt , and cinnamon
For the dough:
1/2 cup of softened butter
1/2 cup of shortening
1 1/2 cup of sugar
2 eggs
2 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla
2 3/4 cups of flour
2 teaspoons of cream of tarter
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon of salt
For the cinnamon-sugar mixture:
4 tablespoons of sugar
1 tablespoon of cinnamon
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees
In your mixing bowl, cream together the butter, shortening, and 1 1/2 cups of sugar
Mix in the 2 eggs and the 2 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla
Add in 2 3/4 cups of flour, 2 teaspoons of cream of tarter, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt and mix until fully combined
In a separate bowl, mix together the 4 tablespoons of sugar + the 1 tablespoon of cinnamon
Line your cookie sheet with parchment paper
Take a spoon and shape the dough into a ball, and roll the ball around in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, and drop it on your cookie sheet. I usually only bake 9 cookies per sheet
Bake the cookies for 8-9 minutes.
Once fully baked, leave the cookies on the cookie sheet for only 2 minutes so that they can harden a little before moving them onto the cooling rack
Enjoy!
*A few notes: This recipe yields about 2 - 2 1/2 dozen (just depends on the size of your cookies). Also, you can refrigerate the dough for 48 hours before baking.
